This natural shyness is outgrown by most children.

Education and Career:Less talkative people often develop very good listening and analytical skills. They take the time to survey a situation or watch a person, to gain a stronger understand of what is really happening, this can be a strong advantage especially in negotiations.Shy people are resourceful, independent and self-reflective which can lead to very creative and successful career.

Relationships:Shy people make very loyal friends and partners. The relationship may take longer to develop, but once a shy person feels comfortable they open up and a deep friendship will develop.
